Actors nominated for this year's Best Actor Award heated up Chungmuro with their different charms and acting skills. Each of the original characters created left a deep impression on the audience and dominated the screen.
First, Lee Sung-min showed off his overwhelming presence by playing the tough guy Jae-pil in the movie 'Handsome Guys'. 'Handsome Guys' is a creepy comedy that takes place when Jae-pil and Sang-gu (Lee Hee-joon), who dreamed of living in the countryside, move into a new house and an evil spirit sealed in the basement wakes up. In contrast to his rough appearance, Lee Sung-min humorously and humanely depicted his coy and shy personality, giving the audience both laughter and fear. The copper-colored skin and unconventional hair style in the play were praised for maximizing the character's external charm and creating a unique character that only Lee Sung-min can pull off.
Lee Je-hoon portrayed Kyu-nam, a North Korean soldier who dreams of life on the other side of the fence, in 'Escape'. 'Escape' is a work about the escape and chase of a North Korean soldier, Kyu-nam, and a security officer who chased him. Lee Je-hoon expressed Kyu-nam's fear and determination in three dimensions through thorough character analysis. Kyu-nam's dream of a new tomorrow impressed the audience deeply, and Lee Je-hoon's intense eyes and desperate emotional performance further enhanced the immersion of the work.
Jung Woo-sung played the role of Lee Tae-shin in the movie 『Seoul Spring" and depicted a soldier struggling to protect the future of the Republic of Korea at the center of the December 12 military revolt. Jung Woo-sung convincingly expressed the complicated inner side of Taeshin, who had to make a decision in the middle of confusion as the commander of the capital security on December 12, 1979, in 『Seoul Spring』, which is based on the military revolt. The characteristic strong charisma and solemnity as a character who carried the fate of the country overwhelmed the screen and touched the hearts of the audience.
In the same work as Jung Woo-sung, Hwang Jung-min played the role of Chun Doo-kwang, the commander of the South Korean National Security Command, leading the military revolt and writing a page in history. Hwang Jung-min gave a strong sense of immersion by delicately portraying the cool-headed and ambitious figure Chun Doo-kwang. The tension and pressure revealed in his eyes and tone drew the audience into the screen, and the complex power relationship also added to the weight of the work.
Choi Min-sik played the role of Sangdeok in the history of feng shui in 'Pamyo', adding to the mysterious atmosphere along with his ability to read the energy of the earth. Sangdeok, played by Choi Min-sik, encounters a supernatural phenomenon through the process of digging into a grave site where ominous energy lurks as the best branch of the Republic of Korea. He expressed his stubbornness and deep insight as a feng shui history to maximize the tension of the play. Choi Min-sik's heavy acting and unique charisma gave the audience a strange anxiety and made their presence shine even more.

Go Ah-sung, who showed his own eyes and delicate emotional acting, convincingly conveyed the growth process of Gye-na and deeply depicted the portrait of youth pioneering his own life.
Kim Go-eun played the role of Hwa-rim, a shaman, in 'Pamyo', showing the strong appearance of a shaman against supernatural phenomena.

Kim Go-eun deeply portrayed the complex emotions and determinations of Hwarim who confronts the soul. He left a strong impression on the audience by delicately depicting his inner conflict to overcome his beliefs and fears as a flower forest.
Ra Mi-ran played Deok-hee, an ordinary citizen who tracks the organization as a voice phishing victim in 'Citizen Deok-hee', showing off a exhilarating action. Deok-hee is a character who suffers from voice phishing incidents in ordinary daily life and pursues persistent to solve them. Ra Mi-ran vividly portrayed the character with her unique realistic acting. Ra Mi-ran's strong yet pleasant appearance impressed the audience, and expressed Deok-hee's growth and revenge realistically.
Jeon Do-yeon plays Suyeong, a former police officer who dreams of revenge after losing everything in the film 'Revolver'. Suyeong is a person who is imprisoned for his involvement in corruption and then goes straight for revenge after being released from prison. Jeon Do-yeon deeply expressed Suyeong's inner venom and sadness.

Finally, Tang Wei played the role of Byri, a mother who confronts herself again, restored to AI for her young daughter in 'Wonderland'.
